    I think the drive over the cambrai battlefield and the silence they observed was a much better idea than the Lincoln one. The council lost out, maybe they'll fund it next time they re asked.(if they ever are!!)

    I have a BSA M20, which I want to finish as a Post War example. It finished it's service with 124 Recovery Company REME at Newton Aycliffe in 1967. Does anyone out there know what Divisional Flashes it would have, if any. I don't know what Formation they were in in 67 or the number that would be on the REME flash.

    I don't think they are WMIKs. Just normal TUM(HS) stripped down. the kit you are asking about goes on top of the poles sitting on the bonnet and the Cam Net is spread over them.

    I passed my HGV 2 test on a Barford dump truck at 22 Engr Regt in 1978. Cracking thing to drive. If you can drive one of them, everything else is easy. I don't remember anyone having a good thing to say about the Haulomatic when we got them.

    Are those the Bate's Diamond Ts from Cheltenham Rd Evesham?

    It would not be a unit MOD. That is a big no no in this day and age. The unit would get a Red on it's annual Equipment Care Inspection if ay vehicle was found with an illegal MOD. The good old days, when you modded your vehicle to make it more user friendly are long gone I have seen one 90 Wolf in service with this spare wheel layout though, so I'm guessing it's an official MOD.

    I have good memories of Mike and Carrie in the 70s, during my early days in the hobby. He was always happy to give advice. Unfortunately, my career in REME, prevented me from attending as many shows as I would have liked and I lost contact. Dave Whitehouse MVT (MVCG) number 322

    would that be me then Richard, or maybe there's more than one of us !!! Good days at Rushmoor. I think that where the photo is taken, or am I wrong?

    I seem to remember we had them with cabs on in Norway in the early 1980s

    I had puttees in 1976 during basic training, but we had 37 pattern webbing.

    Eryk, I think you need an AB (Army Book 562) a brown (buff) coloured book in A5 size. Inside are pages which tell you details such as chassis number and other details, services and inspections carried out, modifications. I seem to remember all vehicles of yours age had this. Though in later life they may have had a FMT 1004 document. This was in A4 size, but had the same information in it. Dave

    I've just bought a BSA M20 and need some help with the TAC signs on the tank sides. On the right side is a red anchor within a red circle and blue background. This is a Beach Group TAC sign. (correct me if I'm wrong please) On the other side is a blue square with white strip at the top and the number 381 on it in white. The colour is Royal Engineers I think. Can anyone tell me what the 381 denotes. I've tried everywhere on the net.

    The GE (formally Smiths Industries) factory at Bishops Cleeve near Cheltenham, still had traces of camouflage paint on it's buildings a few years ago. Unfortunately a new building now obscures the old ones from the road, so I don't know if they still show signs of it.
